    I don't really think it's that big a deal. The strap I made doesn't have a keeper loop either and it hasn't been any problem. If you feel you really need one it isn't a big project to make one. If the quality of his product is as you expected overall I'd leave positive feedback.

    Check Tandy Leather and The Leather Factory, I believe one or both of those will have pre-fab belt keepers in assorted sizes. You will need to order some leather dye since the keeper will be natural.

    An alternative, similar to Ron's is to just use a black hair band. They are a little stronger than plain rubber bands and they tend to last longer.

    I have the Same Sporran and the same Strap. It doesn't really bother me that the strap is flopping behind my back.

    I have 2 other straps, and none of them has the loop either.

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. I guess I can fix the strap, but I really shouldn't have to. Between my annoyance over that, and the guy's dismissive attitude, I doubt he'll be getting positive feedback. He did not cheat me, though, so he won't be getting negative feedback, either.

    Could you cut off the extra?

    If I do that, the remaining strap will stick out behind me, like a tail, albeit a short one.

    Not the look I'm after. :grin:

    Hmmm... perhaps instead of a rubber band, then, a nice piece of ribbon hot-glued to the inside of the belt to form a loop along the outside? They make leather-look and suede ribbons.
